I agree with you, I have found no value in PS+ at all. I have owned games like XCom, BF3, Uncharted 3 and SR3 before they hit PS+, so all I've been getting its little Indy games like Oddworld, Machinarium and other b.s. I will say it can be a really good value to those who buy no games and just a subscription to PS+ every year, You can save a lot of money that way. But PS+ is a joke to me and won't be renewing my subscription when it ends in October. And Sony wants me to pay for their highly flawed service come PS4, lol don't think so. |
rob you? Seriously....?Exactly. It's worse in the US when we get one retail game a month the majority of the time as well, so there's that much more chance we're not getting something we don't own. In Europe, they get games like Dead or Alive 5 and Sleeping Dogs six months after release. The games were still $40 at retail at the time. As cheap as I am, I buy most of my games at $20, yet with how PS+ works in the US, the game better be old as dirt or we're not going to get it.
People who never buy retail games are the only ones that are going to benefit from PS+.

Not just indie. Most cheap digital games are worse than retail games because the budget the people are working off of. There are some, very rare, good games, but the majority of digital only games are overrated pieces of shit(opinion only.)
Retro City Rampage was highly praised, and graphically for a game that's cloning the NES it looks really nice. Some of its gameplay mechanics are good, but the game is just not good at all. The game is so boring it's put me to sleep not once(or atleast got me to start dozing off.) Super Meat Boy receives praise because of its difficulty, not because it's a good game. It's okay, but if I didn't get it for less than a dollar on Steam, I wouldn't have ever bought it because it's not worth the asking price. There are platformers that are difficult that are also actually good. Outland is another game I got free on PS+, and yet another shitty overrated game. Trine 2 is another I played because of PS+, and while it's pretty, it's yet again another overrated piece of shit indie game. If anyone wants a free Steam code for Trine 2 Complete you can have it, I don't want my Steam library tainted by this piece of 1/10 garbage. Flow is yet another. And these are just a few indie titles. There's a lot of others I've played that are not comparable to retail games.
But like I said, not just indies. Larger budget digital only titles too. I'm a Castlevania fan, but Harmony of Despair was a huge disappointment. No wonder we haven't heard anything about IGA and Castlevania since.
With as many indie games or cheap digital only games that I've played that have been highly rated and my opinion on them has been that these are some of the worst games I've played this console generation, I'm under the opinion that anything under these labels gets an immediate +5 to peoples opinions and that's the only reason people like the games. That people are ranting and raving about these poorly developed games because of the price and usually that they're indie games and nothing else. Sorry, but maybe you can see why I'm not interested in playing games with no budget when they are constant disappointments.
Then again, there are those very rare digital only games that are good. Cave Story, Jamestown, Torchlight, Dead Nation, The Walking Dead. It's a rarity, but some digital games can be good.
As for what's released this next month on PS+? Sine Mora and Poker Night at the Inventory? Garbage.
If these cheap digital titles were so good, Sony should give these games to Europe too. Make PS+ the same across the board. Make it fair.
*edit*
Oh, and notice Galaga Legions in my PSN profile picture with a few trophies. Yeah. Another game that's not very good. Would rather be playing the original Galaga. A game as old as the original Galaga and with the budget they have they can't make something as good as that with this new one.
That was free this month for US PS+ as one of our digital games.
